THE ONE HERO PIECE EVERY WARDROBE NEEDS STYLED 3 WAYS

Over 40 fashion influencer wearing black blazer as one of several wardrobe basics every woman needs.

Do you ever struggle with that dreaded feeling of I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR?  If you are then I’m sure it has to do with not having enough of the key wardrobe basics.  A functional wardrobe is made up of mostly high-quality basics, which is why I always say to make sure you have the key items you need in your closet.  This will ensure that you’re able to get dressed every day with ease because let’s be honest, life already gives us enough stress on its own!  Having a closet full of wardrobe essentials is key since this will not only save you time every morning but it will also save you money in the long run.

Over the next few weeks I’m going to be featuring 10 of the wardrobe basics every woman needs and the infamous black blazer is number one on the list.  For the 3 best blazers that I recommend (for every budget) along with 3 chic ways to style a black blazer keep scrolling and stay tuned for items 2-9 coming soon!

VERONICA BEARD MILLER BLAZER:

The first option I have for wardrobe basics every woman needs is the infamous Balmain blazer. This is seriously one of the best investment pieces I own because I’ve had it for years and I wear it all the time! It’s always a top seller here on my blog and for good reason because the fit is impeccable and it can be worn literally anywhere. So, if you need a wardrobe basic to take you from the office to happy hour and everywhere in between, this blazer is your best bet! I’m wearing a size 0 and the fit is true to size.

BLACK CASHMERE TURTLENECK:

Another great wardrobe essential every woman needs is a high-quality cashmere sweater. This one from Saks is one of my favorite pieces to layer under jackets in winter, and the soft cashmere is an absolute dream to wear. I’m wearing an XS in this chic and cozy sweater that fits true to size.

AGOLDE 90'S PINCH WAIST JEANS:

I’ve featured these flattering jeans a ton lately and for good reason! These jeans by Agolde are the ideal pair of denim in my opinion. This high waist and straight leg style are super flattering on almost any body type. I also love the medium wash because it goes with almost everything AND can be worn year-round. I’m wearing a size 24 in this versatile pair of jeans.

MADEWELL CROPPED BLAZER:

The next option I have on my list of wardrobe basics every woman needs is this cropped blazer from Madewell. This one is quite budget-friendly and I love the cropped length because it is fabulous for those of us in the petite category (5’4 or under). If the Balmain blazer is simply out of your budget, this is a great affordable option that is very on-trend. I’m wearing an XS.

SHOP NOW

CARGO PANTS:

Cargo pants are still hot in 2023 and I adore the more fitted style of these gorgeous olive green ones from Nordstrom. The fitted style combined with the high waist makes these a flattering denim alternative that will have you feeling fabulous right through spring. I’m wearing a size 24 in these trending pants.

SHOP NOW

LONG-SLEEVE WHITE BODYSUIT:

Another item on my list of wardrobe basics every woman needs is a long sleeve bodysuit. This henley style from Good American is an ideal example of what I mean, and I especially love the button detail. I’m wearing an XS in this bodysuit I love wearing under jackets because of the lightweight material.
